Abu-Bakr Ramadan, the National Youth Organizer of People’s National Convention (PNC) has described President Mahama’s comment in London when he addressed a section of Ghanaians about the country’s economy as someone who is poised to use lies than to open up to the reality of life.

According to the leading member of the Alliance For Accountable Governance (AFAG), with the way President John Mahama is leading the economy of the country, his performance in the 2016 elections is likely to be worse than the result of Alan Kyerematen in the just ended NPP’s Presidential Primaries.

Speaking on Oman FM’s Morning Show, Abu Ramadan, who was furious, told President Mahama to respect Ghanaians, as his comment is portraying that the citizens lack common sense to know their living conditions.

He reiterated that Ghanaians do not need doomsayers to explain and predict the state of the economy, saying the direct recipients of the hardship are the ordinary people who go to the market every day.

He however was convinced that President Mahama is pleased to see Ghanaians suffer as there is no money to do business in the country, hence his pettiness and cheap propaganda to lie to Ghanaians in the UK that the economy is in good shape.

“We know what is good and bad in this country; we know the difference between black and white, we are aware of what is happening in this country and so we don’t need doomsayers to misrepresent figures to disfavor his government. While we are suffering in this country, expecting a helping hand from our families abroad, the President is telling them to ignore our sufferings; so the President is pleased to see us suffer as we don’t have money to do business in this country. John Mahama should respect the people of this country a little bit and I have said that if he does not take care, he will perform worse in 2016 election than the result of Alan Kyerematen in the NPP’s Congress,” he opined.
